Who grows your food and at what cost? With Manlio Larotonda and Giulia Gianguzza

from Slow Food, the podcast · host Slow Food Youth Network

In this episode of the Slow Food podcast, we talk about modern slavery in the food chain. From exploited seasonal workers in Italy’s tomato fields to the global cacao market, we dig into how injustice hides in plain sight. We hear from Manlio Larotonda, an Italian gastronome and alumnus of the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, who moved to Colombia to start a more just and transparent cacao project. And from Giulia Gianguzza, who works directly with migrant workers in Sicily. This episode isn’t easy, but it’s essential. Understanding where our food comes from means acknowledging the human cost behind it — and doing better. Guests: Manlio Larotonda (cacao Disidente founder and UNISG alumnus) and Giulia Gianguzza (social worker at Sportello Sans Papiers) Host and production: Valentina Gritti Music: Leonardo Prieto  Join Planting The Future: https://ig.me/j/AbZhBdCs9GKVkN_i/?igsh=MTFwYnV4eDZ1NHZneg== A project by Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN)
